INO RYI OATS BARLEY WHEAT Effect of Antibiotics On One Type of Mastitis Of the 20 kinds of infection which can cause mastitis, four produce 99 per cent of all cases, according to a report in the Jour nal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. The most common type is caused b; ~*rep toagalactia This type is the most easily controlled with antibiotics. To determine the significance of the type caused by hemolytic staphylococci, veterinary scien tists in Ontario, Canada, investi gated several dairy herds. The quarters of the mammary glands for each cows in the herds were tested and classified as normal, chronically infected or acutely in fected The status of the quarters was considered “negative” for masti tis when no abnormal organisms were found, “corners’ when or ganisms were present without an increase in white cells, and “pos tive” when both infectious or ganisms and an above average number of white cells were pres ent The effectiveness of antibiotic ti eatment seems to depend on the condition of the glands and dura tion of the infection before treat ment was begun, the veterinary scientists reported. No single course of treatment is as effective, the American Veterinary Medical Association sajs, as a complete program of mastitis treatment and prevention under veterinary supervision LIVE POULTRY PHILADELPHIA Sept. 11 About steady on hens, pullets and large caponcttcd and weak on fry ers and othei classes.
